The normal procedure is to hit enter or type "install", as documented here:
http://benoit.papillault.free.fr/notes/boot-design.php
http://wiki.sourcemage.org/index.php?page=Install+from+newer+ISO

Right now, x86_64 architecture is a low priority for the ISO team. See here:

However, if you find some bugs, please report them using 
http://bugs.sourcemage.org/ in order to get them fixed after we release 
our 1.0.
